A view over the mussel farm. #shetland #photography #seascape
Photo of sunlight breaking through grey flat clouds over an expanse of silvery sea, where rows of black dots reveal where the mussels are grown under the water.

Sunset last night. #shetland #photography #sunset
Photo of a bright golden sun sinking into a line of low black hills on the horizon. The sky is a dusky blue scattered with grey clouds. In the foreground, the ground is completely black and features the dark silhouettes of branches. Slicing through the middle of the picture is an expanse of water glowing pale gold with reflected sunlight.

Sunset this evening put on such a show. #shetland #photography #seascape
Photo of a deepening blue sky little gold and lavender at the horizon, a line of distant black hills. The foreground is filled with calm sea water the colour of lilac as it reflects the darkening sky overhead.

Bright side of a bit of drizzle. #shetland #photography #seascape #rainbow
Photo of a small bay of water under a patchy sky. Half a rainbow can just be seen as it arcs through the centre of the picture to a spit of land in the water.

A river of light in a morning sky. #photography #cloudscape
Photo of a cloudy sky. The clouds are in shades of grey, lavender, a hint of peach. Zigzagging through the middle is a glowing partition of sunlight.

Small scale fishing. #shetland #photography #boat
Photo of a small fishing boat in a bay of still water. There are green hills behind the boat rolling into the distance. The sky overhead is full of white clouds.

Cat on a hot tin roof? No. Sheep on a roofless house. #shetland #photography #sheep
Photo of a stream flowing vigorously down a hill over chunks of rock towards the viewer. Either side of the stream is green grass. On the right of the stream is an abandoned structure, probably an old croft house, made of dry stone wall. Where the roof should be, a sheep is standing. This is a trick of perspective, as the sheep is actually standing on a hill in the distance. The sky overhead is white with cloud.

Lovely sunny morning. #shetland #photography
Photo of an almost clear blue sky over deep blue water with green hills on the horizon and a small chunky bit of rock curving into the water from the green land closest to the viewer.

Misty evening. #shetland #photography

A shrouded sun this afternoon, but mercifully calm. #shetland #photography #cloudscape #seascape
Photo of thick grey cloud with a single yellow spot in the centre where the sun is forcing its way through. Dark hills line the horizon. The water in the foreground is flat and still. Despite the description, the view isn't ominous or foreboding, but calm and peaceful.

Beautiful pastel sunset this evening. #shetland #photography #cloudscape #sunset
Photo of a sky that is softly grey at the top of the picture. On the horizon, the clouds have softened to let in some sunset light, shades of yellow and peach. The bottom half of the picture is a dark green hills in the mid distance, with a calm dark sea taking up the bottom fifth of the photo.

Well, that's better! The skies might be grey, but the wind is negligible! A humble sheep can wander safely again. #shetland #photography #seascape
Photo of calm blue-grey water beneath a flat sky of the same colour. Sandwiched between are a series of hills in the distance, brown-green in colour and lightly shrouded in misty haze.

This picture fails to express just how frigging windy it is right now. #shetland #photography #stormyseas
Photo of a churned blue sea in front of distant green hills on the horizon. The sea overhead is a flat full grey.

It's like a Microsoft desktop background in real life! #shetland #photography #microsoft
Photo of a wide expanse of green grass filling the picture halfway. Above it is a blue sky with a few scattered white clouds.

Her ladyship and handmaid. #shetland #photography #horse #percheron #pony #shetlandpony
Photo of a muddy white Percheron horse standing in front of a low dry stone wall and next to a black mid-size Shetland pony. The sky behind them is a gorgeous open blue with just a few white clouds.

Love me a cloudscape of the cirrus variety. #shetland #photography #cloudscape
Photo of a blue sky scattered with an array of white cirrus clouds like feathers.

The wind has dropped enough I can hear myself think when I step outdoors. #shetland #photography #sunset #cloudscape
Photo of a blue sky scattered with thin white clouds at the top of the picture, thicker grey ones above the horizon, which is a series of dark hills in the distance. The sun is glowing lemon yellow behind the central cloud. The sea water at the bottom of the picture is blue and relatively calm.

A different view for once! The big layby before Weisdale. #shetland #photography
Photo from the top of a high hill looking down at a landscape of golden brown and green. The horizon is a spur of land sticking out into the sea. There are a couple of small white croft house around a bay of dark blue water. Overhead, the sky is white with cloud except for the very top of the picture, where it is light blue.

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning. #shetland #photography #sunrise #cloudscape
Photo of a sky bathed amber, fuchsia and lavender by the sun hiding just behind a roll of dark hills.

We had a lovely bright day but now the clouds are coming. Tomorrow will be a rough one. #shetland #photography #sheep #sunset #cloudscape
Photo of clear blue skies over a green field. Sheep scramble amongst a broken stone wall in the foreground. Photo of dark purple clouds over an inlet of seawater. The rolling dark hills on the horizon are crowned by a glowing notch of golden sunlight.

Another windy day. The dog still looks hopeful every time I stand up. #shetland #photography
Photo of brown grass on gently rolling hills in the foreground, an inlet of blue seawater in the middle, and another set of rolling hills in the background (though these are more green-hued). The sky is almost entirely a flat grey cloud except for a small glimmer of pale yellow on the horizon where the sun is trying to break through.

It's just a grey kind of day. Bracing 55mph "gusts" (is it really gust if it blows continuously at the speed?). #shetland #photography
Photo of a grey, misty sky over distant hills. The little sea inlet is dark blue with visible froths of white foam where the waves are churning.

By the freezing of my thumbs (and other digital extremities), something wicked this way comes. #shetland #photography #cloudscape
Photo of a bay of water that is poorly lit. The sky overhead is blue near the top of the picture, but dark clouds are advancing from the horizon to the viewer.
